SMART Goals

 SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timed. It's a way to create goals that are clear, measurable, and achievable.

Here’s what each of these words means:

Specific: Your goal should be clear and specific. Instead of saying "I want to work in sales," say "I want to become a sales representative for a cosmetic company".

Measurable: Your goal should be measurable. This means you should set specific benchmarks that can be tracked and measured. For example, you might say "I want to work full-time, for at least 40 hours per week, and earn a salary of at least $40,000 per year."

Achievable: Your goal should be realistic and achievable. This means you need to consider things like whether or not the job exists, your qualifications, and any other limitations or requirements. For example, you might want to be a play-by-play announcer for a professional football team, but if there's no team in your area, this might not be achievable.

Relevant: Your goal should be relevant to your life and priorities. It should fit in with your other responsibilities and life goals. For example, if you're a mother, you might want to work outside the home, but you need to balance this with your responsibilities to your children and community.

Timed: Your goal should have a specific timeframe. This means you need to set a deadline for when you want to achieve your goal. For example, you might set a goal to begin your new job by a specific date, and you'll need to decide how many interviews and how much training you'll need to complete before you start.

Overall, SMART goals are a great way to set clear and achievable goals for yourself, and ensure that you stay on track to achieving them.
